From this nature springs showcases an exquisite array of artworks, ranging from pieces by gallery artists and beyond including work by renowned artists such as Timothy App, Louise Bourgeois, David Brown, Ed Clark, Leonardo Drew, Joan Mitchell, Liliana Porter, Soledad Salamé, Fanny Sanin, Jo Smail, and Jack Whitten.

Highlights include Jack Whitten’s gestural Untitled drawing from 1964. This period was a time when Whitten created works loosely inspired by gardens, using them as metaphors for growth, the search for identity, and personal stories.

The exhibition also highlights a recurring theme in Louise Bourgeois’ work: the spiral. This symbolizes the interplay of opposing forces, a concept Bourgeois has described as representing both “control and freedom”, drawing from her childhood experiences watching the employees of her family’s tapestry business meticulously wash and wring out tapestries by the river.

Ed Clark, an abstract painter, presents his Untitled B from 1997, which skillfully captures a shifting gradient of colors behind what appears to be the concentric circles of water ripples. This piece effectively conveys a dynamic and energetic movement echoing from a central point.

Joan Mitchell’s Arbes, created between 1991 and 1992, is deeply inspired by the forms, structures, and kinetic energy of plants. In her work, Mitchell translates these environmental elements into expressive and visceral explorations of the natural world.

From this nature springs transcends the traditional boundaries of landscape art, offering a deeper understanding of the nature-influenced foundations from which many artists draw inspiration.
